Hans Eijkelboom: Paris-New York-Shanghai (Signed Edition)
Introduction by Martin Parr. Essay by Tony Godfrey.
Paris - New York - Shanghai
In "Paris, New York, Shanghai" Eijkelboom creates a clever and witty comparative study of three major contemporary metropolises, each selected for having been (or promising to be) the cultural capital of its time. Paris during the 19th century; New York, the 20th; and Shanghai, the 21st. Expansive cityscapes detailing the quirks of each city, and snapshot-style pictures of their inhabitants soon reveal how similar one city is to another today.
Goede bedoelingen en modern wonen
Summary: Photographer Hans Eijkelboom is fascinated by the clash between the idealistic constructs of modernism and the harsh, sometimes dilapidated reality of his own living environment in the Bijlmer, the city district of Amsterdam-Southeast that was realized in the late 1970s. In 2008 the Art Foundation of Amsterdam's Academic Medical Center (AMC) commissioned him to portray the diversity of the Bijlmer | the AMC's immediate catchment area. The assignment resulted in a 'work in progress': Eijkelboom took 12 photos every month over a period of one and a half years, which resulted in a steadily expanding series of images of the colourful world outside being displayed on a temporary wall at the AMC hospital.

Photography and Ontology
This edited collection explores the complex ways in which photography is used and interpreted: as a record of evidence, as a form of communication, as a means of social and political provocation, as a mode of surveillance, as a narrative of the self, and as an art form. What makes photographic images unsettling and how do the re-uses and interpretations of photographic images unsettle the self-evident reality of the visual field? Taking up these themes, this book examines the role of photography as a revelatory medium underscored by its complex association with history, memory, experience and identity.
